Vol 5 Chapter 184: 1st prisoner

Just as the desert can't get rid of dryness, the rain forest can't get rid of dampness, what can never get rid of in the dark prison is the ubiquitous cold atmosphere.
Even in the Hell Castle.
Across the heavy stone wall, across several layers of exquisitely carved runes, across the powerful magic barrier, that cold breath still entangled every wizard who appeared in this world.
There is draught in the corridor, and the coldness in the wind is particularly strong.
A cold wind blew, Ophiopogon shivered and woke up.
She murmured a little. On one side is the captain's wide and warm chest, and on the other side is as cold as hanging in the ice and snow, even through the thick cloak, the coolness can still penetrate.
The little witch could not continue to sleep.
She dug her head out of the captain's cloak and glanced out.
"Where is it?" she asked dazedly.
"Alright, almost here. You can sleep for a while." Zhang Boren patted her head comfortingly, indicating that she can continue to rest for a while. The little witch did not re-drill her head into the cloak according to his request. Instead, she flashed her big eyes and stared at the gray hair of the black-robed wizard leading the way.
"Zhang Yu?" She greeted her cheerfully.
The wizard in charge of guiding turned his head, with a gentle smile in his eyes.
"Ophiopogon." He nodded, and said softly: "Professor Li Qihuang is in the front lounge... He has just prepared a batch of first-class healing potions today. You will be able to regain strength immediately."
The little witch, Ophiopogon japonicus, blinked indifferently, her eyes slid away from the wizard who led the way, and looked left and right: "Is this a dark prison? It feels similar to the basement of the Ishikawa family..."
The young swordsman who had been silent from beginning to end finally spoke.
"It's very different." His voice fits perfectly with the atmosphere of the old castle, the same indifference, but a touch of patience: "Ishikawa's basement will not hold so many demons."
Mai Dong finally noticed the small wind tunnels on both sides of the corridor.
"There are demons behind those doors?" Her voice was full of surprise: "I thought they would all be locked in a very tight, very tight place... They are so close to us!"
"The prisoners here are all low-risk prisoners." Zhang Yu turned his head and explained with a smile: "And it doesn't have to be a monster. Some sinful wizards will also be held in this place."
"Low-risk prisoner?" This kind of rhetoric aroused the interest of the witch in the team. She approached one of the cells and glanced at the wizard leading the team.
Zhang Yu stopped and smiled at her, but did not stop her from acting.
The witch cast her gaze at the cell with confidence.
Across the narrow wind tunnel, inside is a slightly spacious single room, the walls are blue-black, and the top is carved with all kinds of complicated runes, there are soft carpets under the feet, and a few white candles hanging above the head. But this is not what surprised the witch the most.
What surprised the witch most was that there were bookshelves, desks, sofas, coffee tables, and even a single bed that looked very warm in this cell. On the bedside is a pink rabbit, playing with the radish in his hand.
If she didn't know that this was a cell, she would even think she saw the study of a certain wizard.
Behind the desk sat a gentle witch, wearing a dark red robe, with her legs bent between the wide armchairs, bare feet, holding a potion handout, she was watching with relish.
Zhu Ling thought her face looked familiar.
But before she could think carefully, the prisoners in the room seemed to notice the gaze watching outside the wind tunnel. She put down the textbook in her hand, smiled and waved outside the door, and said hello.
The witch outside the door immediately retracted her head in shock.
Then she realized the sense of violation in the scene just now.
"She...here..." The visitor pointed to the cell and then to the top of his head. His face was a bit confused, so he stuttered when speaking.
"What did you see?" Zhang Boren also leaned forward curiously.
The swordsman named Ishikawa might also want to see, but he was too embarrassed to huddle with the captain, so he could only stare at the back of the captain's head; the dwarf Bahrain didn’t mind squeezing, but he was too short. , Even if you stand on your toes, you can't reach the handle of the door, let alone the narrow wind tunnel above the handle.
This made him hug his arms, angrily, and even his forehead turned red.
Zhang Boren quickly withdrew his gaze.
"That's a witch!" His voice was full of surprise: "It's definitely a witch, not contaminated... This can be seen by children."
"I didn't see it!" Mai Dong who was hiding in his arms protested loudly. He wanted to stretch his head to take a look, but was held down by his captain.
"Once." The wizard in charge of guiding replied softly: "She used to be a witch. Now she is just a prisoner."
"why?"
"Because she privately indulged two monsters and left ~EbookFREE.me~ and leaked the secrets of the black prison. The Dan Haag Supreme Court sentenced her to 50 years in prison without parole."
"But aren't all such criminals imprisoned in Dan Haag? Why is she imprisoned in a black prison!"
"She used to be the guard of the black prison." Zhang Yu replied simply.
There was silence in the corridor.
Until the swordsman named Ishikawa expressed his confusion: "...Do you think she looks familiar?"
"Yes, I thought it was an illusion." Zhu Ling nodded immediately.
"That's because she used to be a practical lecturer at the first university and was responsible for the practical guidance of some graduates." Zhang Yu turned around and continued to walk deep into the castle: "You may not have attended her class, but It does not prevent her from seeing her familiar."
The hunters of the Kunpeng hunting team had to give up the onlookers in front of the cell and keep up with Zhang Yu's pace.
The voice of the guiding wizard sounded deep in the corridor, mixed in the dark wind through the hall, and it was extremely cold: "...I don't know if you have any impression of the name Nikita. She used to be Nikita's instructor. After the accident, because of that major mistake, she was deprived of her teaching position by the school and arranged to enter the black prison as a guard. Then in the black prison, she privately released an infected person with a special identity."
"I've heard about this... that infected person is her daughter." The witch in the team suddenly said, interrupting.
The pace at Zhang Yu's feet paused.
"She knows, you know, we all know," his voice was calm, but a bit cruel in the calm: "When a wizard is infected by a demon, what will the final outcome be like... Especially that wizard still A child. Choice is always difficult. We must be responsible for our choices."
